Top 4 Benefits of a Loft Conversion

Wondering whether a loft conversion is worth it? Whilst it’s a significant investment, there are many benefits that come with converting your loft.

Weighing up the benefits and costs is all part of the process. If you’re still trying to decide whether to go ahead or not, our list of the top 4 benefits of a loft conversion might help you make up your mind!

1. Create additional living space

The primary benefit of converting your loft is the extra space it creates. You can add a bedroom and bathroom, playroom, office or any other living space you need to your home without having to move. Loft space is generally under-utilised, so by making it liveable with a loft conversion, you’re reducing the amount of wasted space in your house.

2. Avoid moving costs

Whilst moving house to gain space can be exciting, it can also be expensive and stressful. There are numerous costs associated with moving house, including stamp duty, solicitors’ fees, packing and removal, mortgage advisors and administration costs. You can avoid these altogether with a loft conversion, making it a more cost-effective option.

3. Increase your house value

By adding extra rooms to your property, you are also adding value. A loft conversion can increase the value of your home by up to 20%, which will be highly beneficial if you decide to sell later down the line. Building an extra bedroom and/or bathroom in your loft space will help open your house to a larger buying market and make it more desirable.

4. Maximise energy efficiency

With the high energy costs in the UK, almost anything that might reduce them can be seen as a benefit! By adding reflective insulation to the roof area of your loft conversion, your home will retain heat better during the colder months and reflect out direct heat in the hotter months. Due to heat rising from the rest of the house and being properly contained in the loft area, you might find that the radiators rarely need to go on.
